Overnight

A break or change in routine is important for our clients and their families. During an STA stay, our clients can enjoy a getaway, or get out and about to explore Sydney and it’s happenings.

Prior to staying, we work with our clients and their person of choice to plan activities and experiences that meet the individual needs and preferences of our guests. Our staff will also plan to make sure all support needs are met, including:

• Attending day programs or maintaining existing routines

What we offer:

• Supportive staff who will accommodate specific client needs and preferences
• Planned, time-limited breaks for families and carers
• Purposeful, individualised, culturally, and age-appropriate experiences
• In-home or community access that is carefully planned and discussed to suit each client’s needs
• A service that is designed to enhance quality of life, strengthen, and maintain the primary care relationship

STA/Respite Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Is short-term accommodation covered under the NDIS?

Yes, your NDIS Plan will usually fund up to 28-days of short-term accommodation per year depending on your package. It covers the cost of your care for up to 14 days at a time.

There are three levels of respite-like supports available for funding as part of plans:

• Level 1: 7 to 14 days per year to allow the carer to attend key activities.
• Level 2: 14 to 28 days per year and includes a strategy to build capabilities for future independence.
• Level 3: Equivalent of 28 days per year, when the carer provides support most days and informal support is at risk of not continuing due to the intensity of the support require or severe behavioural issues.
